About

Professional summary

I am an experienced legal professional specializing in U.S. immigration law, paralegal services, legal document preparation, and client communication. I support complex immigration matters through careful research, evidence collection, petition drafting, and compliance-focused case management.

I have worked with high-volume caseloads involving EB-1A, O-1A, marriage-based, VAWA, and T-Visa matters. My work includes preparing petitions, coordinating supporting documentation, communicating with clients and external experts, and helping ensure filings meet USCIS criteria and deadlines.

I am fluent in Spanish and professionally proficient in English, allowing me to provide bilingual support to clients, attorneys, and international stakeholders. I translate complex legal requirements into clear, actionable steps and maintain a client-centered approach throughout the process.

I am comfortable using cloud-based legal and CRM platforms, including Salesforce, Litify, Docketwise, Google Workspace, Jira, and Microsoft Office. I bring strong attention to detail, organization, legal research, compliance auditing, and digital intake management skills.

Beyond legal services, I have experience in event operations, team leadership, advertising, project coordination, and creative direction. These experiences have strengthened my adaptability, public speaking, problem-solving, teamwork, and ability to manage cross-functional projects.
